Hi,
I'm looking for super simple battery widget. The only thing I want is to display battery left percentage.
So if I happen to have 54% left, I want it to show 54 or 54%. i do not need circle around it. resizable font would be nice, as i don't need huge text. any recommendations?

Are you running stock or Null? if your running null check out UCCW you can make it however you want with it.
I use Minimalistic Text to add the battery % like this.

Is there anyway to just change that without having to install a whole different rom? Thanks!
What do you mean?
I was wondering something similar (i think), that would put a percentage on the already existing battery meter. Much like the battery status app that you can download off the market.
Is that what you mean?
The battery would always be there. If you want something like a percentage then you would have to download an app from the market but the original battery will always be there.
He wants there to be a different battery color or design or something, am I correct? To find the answer to the question I would ask one of the many theme devs, they're the one's that would most likely know something about this.
You can change the battery icon in the status bar by editting the framework\res\drawable battery icons. There are only 7 of them tho, so putting in a percentage wouldn't really be feasible. You can do it, but the icons are set by the system to change only at certain intervals. They are:
100%
80%
60%
40%
20%
10%
0%
You can change the icons for each of the listed percentages. Or you could make it a written percentage in 20% increments.
the rom/theme I am using has the regular horizontal battery meter, but I like the round one and was wondering if there was any easy way of just changing that
Change the images in the framework\res\drawables.
Is there any way to get a battery meter in % on a stock based ROM? I'm on the CR OTA ROM.

BattStatt Is a nice widget that shows percent. Not sure if thats what you are looking for but it has a pretty clean look. Its in the market.
Battery Widget by HTC is also available.
I'm thinkin he means getting the battery status percentage up in the status bar.. like in the battery icon itself.. an option I know was in some of the CM Eclair ROMS for the g1

I use that one too. I like how you can change the display, turn on and off gps wifi and bluetooth with it.
Download the app called "Batteryminder" from the market...you can have it just have the number and percent in the status bar and no icon...you can choose either white or black, have to use white since the status bar is black
I really like "Battery Indicator" located in the market.
just download systray monitor from the market. Select battery level on the select tray sensor and it will show your percentage in the notification bar. This is the best app I've used for this kind of thing IMO plus it shows you other info like free space and available ram.
i find so many of them, but jest wonder who is the best apps that show the current battery percent, in the task bar or widget...
I actually use extended controls. It's a widget that looks like the standard android Power Control widget. You can customize it to have loads of controls and the battery percentage. I can't remember how much it is in the market, but its definitely worth it.

If there's a full root we could modify the framework-res.apk and get a modified battery icon in the notification bar. Way better..
My favorite: BattStatt. It's a widget for your screen. Has various sizes, and shows your battery in words.
Try BatteryIndicator
SwitchPro also does it, and worth getting anyway.
try this,
press screen or enter personalize,
chooseshortcut
then
settings
then
battery use
basic but good

I second this. Very simplistic and nice. Customizable so you can choose a color that suits your current background. Along with Tajm you'll have a nice clean setup on home screen or lock screen (Widgetlocker ($1.99) allows you to put widgets on the lockscreen along with custom sliders. I recommend a looksy).

No need to root or modify anything
just the apk you'll find there : Circular battery Indicator with % (No root required)
Works great on my DHD
Wow that is great, will use it for now!

Thanks from me too, it's great, just what I wanted!
BTW, as I said on the other thread, I just wonder if this (kind of) software could shorten battery life, having to do its duties to refresh all the time?

From the linked topic:
- the Circular Battery Indicator does not use a lot of battery resources, the device broadcasts a message when the battery status changes, the app catches this broadcast and update itself to show the right percentage, it is as simple as that, so it is extremely light weight on the CPU.

Oops, thanks, seems like I was a bit too lazy
I had read about the existence of this 'broadcast' system elsewhere, but I was worried because before of this app I used a widget (BatteryIcon if I remember) that had a 'refresh time' to choose in the settings and so I thought (that) app had to 'ask' the system the actual battery level every time. Seems like this one is much better developed so, good to be known, I like it very much, also the ability to have the 'battery use' page open in a bunch of seconds is just all I need

+1 I use BattStat too and like it. Very simple and nice.
I like extended controls, it shows battery percentage, too.
i got all 3 - circular batt, extended power widget and batt stat
doesn't absolutely destroy your battery life??
I'm on the latest Null ROM and my battery life was absolutely amazing until I added a watchstyler widget.
I was ending a LONG day with over 50% battery left.
This morning I added a watchstyler widget and made no other changes at all. The thing has dropped to 47% in 3 hours.
What's your brightness setting at?
Are the colors of the new face white or bright? Black makes battery last longer.

brightness at 3 (same as its always been), watch face is black (rolex submariner)
I was running the stock weather clock (which I really like) until this morning. Looks like I'm going back to that as the battery life to me is far more important than a fake rolex face (although that face looks awesome)

Stock weather, which I do not like does not update often enough and is never correct when I check is simple does not use graphics.

I do wish I could get it to update a little more often, but once an hour is usually close enough in my area anyway.
The stock weather app is pretty ugly, but running it with the awesome Real Icon theme is absolutely beautiful.
I am definitely back to running that as my DD clock, the watchstyler had my watch at 12% battery by noon today. Yesterday at this time it was at something like 86% and still over 50% at dinner time.
Anyone figured out how to get it to show the battery percentage? The ADB command for KitKat doesn't seem to do anything.
Have you tried battery percent for kit kat in play store?

My understanding was that it was essentially a front-end on the adb command, but I'll try it.

You can try This.

Ah, the description for the app points out that the text is white on a white background when the battery is full. I just hadn't waited long enough, it was in fact working.

Nice
Thanks for the app suggestion. Any other apps that can do the same but with colored text instead of white?

"Power toggles" gives a few different options/colors, as well as giving toggles in the notification shade

I wish this would be built in - show the % inside the icon with it horizontal like HTC sense. Kind of ridiculous to run a widget to show %! Ditto for signal, should be a way to display dBm too!
